2.0.4

Runs the function in a specified DLL without aborting the current Visual CADD™ tool.

extern "C" void WINAPI VCRunNestedDll(void);

procedure VCRunNestedDll; stdcall;

Sub RunNestedDll()

Does not take parameters and uses the same variable settings as VCDllRun except that the parameters are set beforehand by using other API functions. Refer to the See Also.

Visual CADD™ 2.0 and later supports applications written as a DLL directly in the interface. This allows applications to be built as general tool sets into a DLL with exported functions. In the Visual CADD™ interface these routines can then be accessed by the end user through assigning a script. The exported functions can have only a character string command line.

VCRunNestedDll is identical to VCDllRun except that VCRunNestedDll will send ALERT_APP_TOOL_START and ALERT_APP_TOOL_COMPLETE alerts when it loads the DLL and runs the function, whereas VCDllRun does not send any alerts. For both VCRunNestedDll and VCDllRun, the current Visual CADD™ tool is not aborted and continues to run unless the DLL function itself aborts the current tool.
